Image
The secret of a great success for which you are at a loss to account is a crime that has never been found out, because it was properly executed.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life's duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.
Honore de Balzac
Image
Genuine sorrows are very tranquil in appearance in the deep bed they have dug for themselves. But, seeming to slumber, they corrode the soul like that frightful acid which penetrates crystal.
Honore de Balzac
Image
How fondly swindlers coddle their dupes! No mother is as caressing or thoughtful towards her adored child as a merchant in hypocrisy toward his milch-cow.
Honore de Balzac
Image

The national budget is not a safe-deposit box. It is a spray can.
Honore de Balzac
Image
It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.
Honore de Balzac
Image
The man who enters his wife's dressing room is either a philosopher or a fool.
Honore de Balzac
Image
It's catastrophies which turn wise and strong people into philosophers.

Where poverty ceases, avarice begins.
Honore de Balzac

Courtesy is only a thin veneer on the general selfishness.
Honore de Balzac

True love rules especially through memory.
Honore de Balzac

You cannot pluck love out of your heart as you would pull a tooth.
Honore de Balzac

Men who pay their tailors never amount to anything, they never even become Cabinet ministers.
Honore de Balzac
Image
A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.
